. Colossians 1:21-22, Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of] your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation…
Who I Am in Christ – In Christ, we are reconciled to a holy God, free from any blemish or accusation. Because Jesus voluntarily went to the cross, we can walk hand in hand with God. Before the cross, our sin created a chasm between us and God. Because of his death on the cross, Jesus became the final sacrifice for sin and his blood atoned for the sin of all humanity for all time. Just think about that, your sins and my sins were cleansed totally and completely because of Jesus’ atoning work on the cross.
Now, when God looks at us, he doesn’t see our brokenness, he sees the blood of Christ. We are cleansed, freed from sin, and without blemish in God’s eyes. Thus, the chasm is gone. The cross creates a bridge for us to have a relationship with God. We don’t have to be ashamed, we don’t have to be fearful, and we don’t have to rely on good works. We are saved fully and completely through our faith in Jesus.
Let’s pray…Lord, Thank you for your sacrifice on behalf of me. Forgive me for my sins. Help me submit my whole life to you. In Your Name, Amen. .
Our staff and leadership employ what's called the “S.O.A.P. Method”. It stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. Each day, we read one or two chapters of Scripture and focus on one particular verse. We make some observations about how that verse touches us, discern how it applies to our lives, and offer a prayer related to what we have read. - Rev.
